analogueloyalist Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Soooo..... my work set up. Have tried a few things to get spotify sounding right when i have no time to flip records.... but now looking for something i can plug in here (where finger is pointed) that will charge from dac and bluetooth? Have tried a toslink with blue tooth reviever but doesnt hold enough charge. Have thought about hts toslinking straight i to device (samsung s7 w/ spotify on extreme streaming/download) but dont want devoce tethered..... Am i dreaming... And whats the connection input called?

rogersquared Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 That is a type b usb input. It is used for plugging in a computer to your DAC. I don't think you will get a power output from that port. A flat type A usb port yes but not this one. A chromecast is really what you need into the optical on your DAC or direct into RCA on your amp.

ChupaChups Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Yes, Chormecast Audio, with a tosklink (optical) cable https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/accessories/google/google-chromecast-audio/937282/ Toslink cable https://store.google.com/product/optical_cable_chromecast_audio https://www.google.com.au/search?ei=IfvOWo2zMMSK8gXg2K2wCA&q=toslink+cable&oq=toslink+cable&gs_l=psy-ab.12...0.0.0.70933.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1..64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.DQq_mYRZ9AE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analogueloyalist Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Tried that... the audio quality was good but no wifi at work... hence needing bluetooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChupaChups Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The Cambridge DAC that you have doesn't do Bluetooth. Besides, which device is providing the Bluetooth signals? That device still needs connection from the internet regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogersquared Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 This one might be the one you were originally thinking of but it only plugs into the DacMagic Plus: https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/en/products/bt-100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That device still needs connection from the internet regardless. I want the reciever that i plug i to dac to have blue tooth. I have music saved so no need for internet. Was trying to possibly find dongle or such that plugs in to what looks like usb in the back of the dac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogersquared Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Only a computer can plug into the usb on your model.

rogersquared Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 But two of the bluetooth receivers that I listed earlier will do the job. They will connect to your DAC via toslink/optical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
